I'm not ideological regarding economics in any way whatsoever. If Marxism or MMT worked i'd support it in a heartbeat. I just want people to eat and flourish. I don't support utopian nonsense that's based on wishful thinking because it will harm society as much or more than neoliberalism, which is also crash. I support a mixed capitalist system with strong social safety net and strong regulation. Why? Because all of the data says that the countries who implement this system prosper more than all of the others. The USA is ideological with their neoliberalism you're right, the gov is filled with corrupt sociopathic fools who suck corporate dongs.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Neo-liberals have replaced Marxists as the utopian ideologues and have destroyed our economies, because we let them. You have confirmation bias, you desperately want these things you say to be true but they just don't jive, just like Marxists did. If you don't realize that the US economy has been destroyed by Neo-liberalism, that is because you are part of the 10% whose life has improved while the life of the other 90% has crumbled, especially the bottom 50%.
